The man with the longest television career is British
actor/presenter Bruce Forsyth. (He’s barely recognizable to American audiences,
but if you don’t blink you’ll catch his performance as the henchman Swinburn in
Bedknobs and Broomsticks.) The actress with the longest TV career is Betty White,
the first woman to produce a television sitcom. Depending on your age, you’ll
either remember her best as Sue Ann Nivens on The Mary Tyler Moore Show, or as
Rose Nylund from The Golden Girls. When asked about her secret for longevity,
Betty answered, “I’m a health nut. My favorite food is hot dogs with French
fries. And my exercise: I have a two-story house and a very bad memory, so I’m
up and down those stairs.” She may be
onto something. Sir Bruce retired two years ago at the age of 87. But Betty, at
95, is still going strong.
